i no consumption or water nas out
grown tho capacity of tho 12-Inch
mains that load out from tho plant,
and this moans a lack of pressuro In
tho outlying districts. To lay addition
al mains of sufficient capacity would
moan the (xpendituro of many thous

of installing nn auxiliary pumping
station to glvo prossuro in districts
vvliero rot ded.
These auxiliary stations havo boon
tried out In Grand Island, Lincoln and

plant will provo nn economical solu

Dodge brothers produced no cars, it would not be
strange
II;'
Every Dodge Brothers dealer was short of cars.
Dodge Brothers produced , an ever increasing
number of cars per month' since their start three years
ago, and today have reached the position of the
world's second largest producer of motor cars.
really is strange, when every Dodge dealer is short of .
cars during the winter months called tho dull sell
ing season.
The reason Good cars, Good value, Good service, t
fair repair part prices repair parts in stock wher
ever the cars are sold.
It is as Dodge Brothers recently said, "An hon
est purpose and an honest product will soon find
recognition by the mass" of careful buyers in these
United States."
Today T am entirely out of Dodge cars, I am takj
ing future orders for delivery in the order of their
date of filing with mo. More cars are coming, but the
orders are coming faster than tho cars and your only
protection is an order for your Dodge car TODAY, if
you want it this spring; '
